WHAT TYPE OF WOOD IS THE BEST SUITED FOR MANUFACTURING UTENSILS?
In kitchen utensils and chopping boards, there are several commonly utilized timber species. Let us proceed with an examination and comparison:
Raintree timber, encompassing “Samanea Saman,” “Enterolobiumspp,” and “Pithecellobium spp.,” represents a customary preference for tourist mementos, culinary utensils, and tableware, owing to its cost-effectiveness. Regrettably, it fails to exhibit durable attributes, bearing a resemblance to Brigalow.
The choice of Brigalow was predicated on its status as the most suitable and highest-performing timber for crafting robust chopping boards, distinguished by an exceptional and aesthetically pleasing grain structure.
This entailed an assessment of the timber’s resilience when subjected to washing, scrubbing, cutting, chopping, drying, and prolonged usage over numerous years and across successive generations.
Moreover, it has been documented that the presence of tannin in numerous Acacia species, Brigalow included, confers antibacterial and antifungal qualities.
The prevailing construction method for chopping boards and grazing platters involves the assembly of multiple wood pieces using adhesive. Diverging from this convention, our offerings are hewn from single-slab, long-grain Brigalow lumber, devoid of sapwood. Brigalow, encompassing a subset of the Acacia genus, represents a fine-grained hardwood, distinguished by its dense constitution and resplendent aesthetic attributes. Boasting an exceptional resilience, these products excel in activities ranging from precision cutting to cleaver-assisted bone severance.
Every board procured is distinguished and characterized by its quality and visual allure, thus endowing each item with a unique identity. The innate properties of Brigalow render it the quintessential source material for culinary utility and gastronomic innovation.
Complementing these, our implements are forged from wood segments salvaged from inadequate log portions, thereby optimizing resource employment while curbing wastage. The substantive heft and velvety texture of our Brigalow implements are unrivaled.
